You sound very nice and empathetic and so people may just feel the urge to talk with you about personal things. But that's a bit of a two way street, so you have to appear OPEN to those discussions. In any case, recognize that men relate to one another very differently and so it's normal for them not to get into deeply personal issues with each other. Thus when their significant other starts getting deep and personal with their friends, it makes them uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable for him vis-a-vis you and vis-a-vis his friends. When dudes bring their girlfriends around their friends, they prefer those interactions to be more surface-level. I'm not saying it's necessarily rational or easily explained, but it's just how most dudes are. They like to keep those domains a bit more separate.

Now, another issue is if "one of his best friends" is a "Lisa". I mean, that's a whole other thing. Good luck with that. That could also factor into the "possessiveness" over friends.

I can't give a super detailed response now, because I'm currently at work, but you should look into something called "Amortized analysis". The point that this question is trying to emphasize is that sometimes an operation is more computationally expensive than usual.

Think about an ArrayList. If you run out of space in your ArrayList, you have to create a new ArrayList with double the capacity, and copy all of the old values into it. This is where the idea of Ω( N2 ) comes from (This is a worst time analysis). However, if the ArrayList isn't filled, you should be able to add an element in constant time.

I know this isn't a super detailed response and doesn't fully answer your question, but hopefully it helped a little bit to put you on the right track :)

My landlord decided they wanted to redo our kitchen, floors, and bathroom prior to us moving out. We weren't thrilled by having to move out temporarily this close to our lease ending, but I was advised that we didn't have much of a say in the matter, and that it sucked, but it was what it was.

They moved us out to a furnished apartment about a mile and a half away from campus. When the week ended, we moved back to find literally everything we owned (and the air) filled with sawdust. It's exceedingly clear that they decided to open our doors, and leave them open while they were cutting wood. My current concerns are twofold:

Being compensated for damaged goods, necessary cleaning supplies, and ideally the time it will take to return my room to the state it was in when I left. To give a couple examples, the workers put our detergent outside of the open window, and the entire bag is ruined. My headphone pads are so caked with dust that I can't wear them without irritating my skin. My mechanical keyboard had to be fully disassembled and I'll have to purchase some various supplies (q-tips and whatnot) to get around the switches and clean it. All of our sheets and clothes that were exposed to the air need to be washed, so that's about 5 full loads of laundry.

Our lease specifies that we pay for "professional house cleaning" and steam cleaning. They specifically say that a "professional" would not charge less than $100 and they wouldn't accept anything otherwise or it will come out of our security deposit. I'm not even sure if this is valid or enforceable. However, our carpets, and apartment as a whole is in a CONSIDERABLY worse condition than it was when we left. Simply walking around the house for an hour is enough to turn my feet completely sawdust colored. It doesn't seem reasonable to me that we should pay for cleaning when the reason it needs to be cleaned is their error.

We arrived back home Sunday to an apartment that had writing on the wall (they've since painted over it upon us complaining), no shower curtain (fixed now), our old (and probably dirty) shower doors left on my bed, and a missing cabinet. In short, it was far from ready for us to move back. They told us we could move back to our temporary accommodations. I'm immensely frustrated.

I just want to make sure I know my options and rights as a tenant. After moving in, I found out that my leasing agency is known to be predatory to college students. I've been taking pictures and religiously documenting every problem I've encountered. Thanks!

I said pissing contest not context, but also I said that I mentioned it because I understand having the ability to be a snob/elitist but choosing to suppress it because I find it to be artificial. Your comment is actually my case being made for me. Lol

Thats bullshit. Magic comes from set and setting, not from doing it often. Overthinking is what really makes you lose it.

My best roll was at a festival on day 3 of 3 taking mdma.
Best. Party. Ever. The whole festival and setting was just soo great, i had tears of joy in my eyes not only once.
No comedown, but super intense afterglow the whole next week.

My worst mdma experience was at a shitty party, after a break of 4 months, where the vibe was just off somehow. Needless to say next days i felt kinda strange and disconnected to the world.

Except for festivals which i attend max once a year i do pause typically like 2 to 3 months after every roll and let me tell you this does nothing to the quality of a roll. Rolling regulary does damage your serotonin system in the long run, but it does not impact the roll itself, at least if you dont roll every week or two for a given period

One thing I don't like about drug culture is the element of lawlessness. Once you break one set of laws, or realize that one set of laws is nonsense, it cheapens the gravitas of all other laws. Other laws are super important though, just because drug laws are stupid doesn't mean all laws are stupid, many people in the drug community gravitate towards a toxic sort of libertarianism and towards a lifestyle that is antagonistic to authority and social structures.

It's a bad idea to imagine non-users as 'less than' just because they haven't shared this experience, maybe they've gone travelling more than you and have a way deeper perspective that way, it's unfair to judge an entire person based on just one metric. An acid head who has never left his hometown doesn't really understand how things are because his experience is so limited, while a straightedge person who's skydived, climbed a mountain, seen the world, studied science, lived abroad, will have so many more new and insightful experiences. Drugs are just one avenue and a pretty limited one compared to the depth and breadth of experience available in the world.

This honestly might be my favorite comment I've ever read on this subreddit. Too often I see people parading around here that drugs are the answer to everything, and people that don't use drugs don't "understand". Thanks for the perspective :)

You should probably get your shit together and stop cheating, man. The first two things are excusable, tbh, because there's nothing wrong with wanting to relax, and everyone shits the bed on a test every once in a while, but your posts seem to be echoing a trend.

If you're struggling (academically, socially, emotionally, etc) , I highly recommend reaching out to WeCare. There's really no excuse for cheating though. You're pissing away thousands of dollars, and no one is going to care for you; you need to take the initiative to fix your situation. I hope this is a wake up call for you.

Well no I guess I was asking you cause I'm assuming you are in the class and would know of all the ways that one can submit homework, since the professor's reply implies that there must be another way to turn in homeworks other than bottlenose.

I would go to the elite school (Berkely looks like it may be top for Com. sci.).

Once you have the degree, it will last your entire career.

People who get into trouble with college debt, get into a lot of debt to go to Northeastern / Stony Brook, and don't have aptitude.

People who go to top 5 schools, don't have college debt issues.

At some point in 15-20 years time, that brand name on your resume may land you a job over an equally talented candidate who does not have the brand name. Your hiring manager is more likely to have gone to your elite school, and may give you the edge solely on that school name.

I'm sorry but this is a remarkably stupid comment. In the sake of full disclosure I'll be graduating from Northeastern shortly (with basically zero debt, mind you), but you're perpetuating information that is patently false. I can't even count the number of Harvard grads I know in crippling debt.

Also, if you think that people at Northeastern/Stony Brook (both great institutions) "don't have aptitude", you're just ignorant.

I probably should have worded that better. Many to most people at these institutions have incredibly high aptitude, and do very well in their careers.

However, there are also people who go to mid level institutions who don't necessarily have aptitude. They don't get an scholarships, and borrow the sticker price. Those are the people with college debt issues.

I did not go to an elite school. I have done very well in my career. However mid-career, there are some jobs I won't be able to get, due to not having an elite brand on my resume.

That can be said of any institution. Sure, the frequency may vary depending on location, but this isn't unique to any one place.

that's dumb, I don't know what the protocol is but it seems to me that even the RA shouldn't have had to go to OSCCR for something like that. maybe the dude who reported you was just very non-confrontational and hoped that the RA would talk to you guys for him idk
